Serrita is Portuguese, Spanish in Origin.

Serrita is a rare modern feminine name with Iberian echoes. Its shape points to the Spanish diminutive suffix -ita attached to the root serr-, linking it to Serra or Sierra (Catalan/Portuguese/Spanish from Latin serra, meaning “saw” or “mountain range”). In that reading, Serrita evokes the sense of “little mountain range,” often associated with strength and rugged beauty. Another plausible line connects it to Serita/Sarita - diminutives of Sara(h) - which carry the Hebrew meaning “princess.”

As a given name, Serrita appears sporadically from the late 20th century in the United States and parts of Latin America, and it may at times be chosen with reference to the Brazilian municipality of Serrita (Pernambuco). Usage remains uncommon and stylistically inventive. Variant spellings and cognates include Serita, Serritta, Seritta, and Serrina; related forms are Serra, Sierra, and the Spanish Sarita. Informal short forms include Seri and Rita.
